There's a >200 page thread in the C&V section of vintage bikes with ergos / STIs. Have you posted pics up there yet?
no, when I posted my initial idea of building it up I was basically told that the bikes value was too low to be worth it, family history didnt apparently matter so I took the hint that they didn't care about it. I may have had just a few rude people but i just removed the thread and moved on with my life.
